2000 Skoda Fabia Comfort review from UK and Ireland

Air-con not effective from delivery (as delivered in December took many months to find this out, needed re-programming.

Intermittent squeak from rear brake, dealer wanted to charge for £100 fixing as wear and tear, queried this at 15,000 miles.

Nothing else went wrong during warranty.

Broke mirror adjuster (beware - seems fragile, needed whole switch).

Occasional intermittent rumbling from rear brakes – something trapped?

Engine warning light came on one week after warranty expired, seemed to run OK, temperature sensor replaced.

Rattle from rear seat back – adjusted rubber stop.

Now squeak at top middle of dashboard, does it when going along and when a little up or down pressure on steering wheel, stops when area pressed in gently (any ideas how to cure).

Only other failure – one light bulb.

Still on original wipers.

Good performance, handling, ride, equipment value, economy.

Many passengers comment on it being comfortable, spacious.

Got used to throttle delay, makes for a smother reaction to accelerator movement.

Had problems with one dealer. Took in for repair, had forgotten to order part. At 4 year service did not do brake fluid change (noticed as not charged for fluid). When took back for this to be done given back with brake pedal going to floor if pressed for 15 seconds.
